Behind the score sit a FEMA hazard score of 71/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 69/100 over three years, each a factor insurers weigh when they raise rates or exit a market.

Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 70/100 that input is running hot in Sullivan County.

The Sullivan County figures refresh on a monthly cadence as FEMA hazard revisions, new NFIP claim settlements and updated carrier filings land, so the 70/100 reading reflects the current renewal environment rather than a historical average.
